Who do the Dodgers play next in MLB playoffs? LA familiar with either NLCS opponent

In Game 4 of the NLDS, the Los Angeles Dodgers secured a decisive 4-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves, thanks to a bases-loaded single by Andy Pages that broke the tie. This win propelled the Dodgers to the NLCS for the third consecutive year. Despite various challenges throughout the season, including injuries and disappointing performances from some key players, the Dodgers seem to be coming together at the right time.

Shohei Ohtani, who struggled early in the postseason, managed to make a significant impact with a walk and a run scored, despite his poor hitting. The Dodgers' bullpen also performed well, compensating for Tyler Glasnow's lack of command. As the Dodgers prepare to face either the Milwaukee Brewers or the San Diego Padres in the NLCS, the specifics of their opponent remain uncertain.

If they were to face the Brewers, who are the best team in baseball and recently ousted the Dodgers in the World Series, the Dodgers would enjoy home field advantage as the No. 1 seed. Conversely, if they were to face the Padres, who would need to win out against the Brewers, the Dodgers would also retain home field advantage. The NLCS schedule is set for October 11-19, with Game 1 scheduled for Sunday, October 11.
